LANSING — The Lansing Board of Water & Light has issued a boil-water advisory for 103 customers west of Capital Region International Airport because of a water main break.

The publicly owned utility said those customers are located along West Grand River Avenue, between Grove and Forest Hill roads, including Industrial Parkway, National Parkway, John Henry Drive, South Lowell Road between West Grand River and State Road, Ingersoll Road, Watertown Parkway, Thunder Lane and Country Village Mobile Homes.

A water main broke early Friday and caused a loss of water pressure, BWL said. Main replacement work was expected to be finished by Friday evening.

Customers in that area should use bottled water or boil tap water for at least a minute before using it, BWL said.

“We know this is an inconvenience for our customers, but we want to take every precaution to ensure we’re delivering safer water,” BWL General Manager Dick Peffley said in a news release. “This is the second break in the same area, so we are working on replacing the broken section with a new main.”

BWL said it would share the results once water-quality tests are done.
